It's finally Thanksgiving, which means we should all really think about what's important to us. It can be something as small as the dog you drive by every morning, or something as big as your family and the way they support you. The important part is, we show these people what they mean to us, and how grateful we are to have them in our lives. I've decided to share my list with you guys, and maybe inspire some gratitude for your guys' Thanksgiving!
1. My Siblings - There's a lot of them, and sometimes it can feel like there's too many, but they always bring excitement. Any day spent with them is one full of craziness, but also full of love. Thank you for adding happiness to my life.
2. My Work Family - I've been at my job for about a year, and everyone there is honestly so amazing! I feel like any day that I walk in and I've had a rough morning or I just can't see the bright side of things, there is always someone ready to cheer me up, or help me out. All of my co-workers are extraordinary and I couldn't live without them! Thanks for doing such a great job!
3. My Boyfriend - This man is really the love of my life. He's there for me no matter what, and supports me in every decision I make. He can light up my day like no one else can. I honestly can't imagine my life without him. I don't even want to. (If you end up reading this, I Love You!) Thank you for being the most amazing man I've ever met.
4. My Friends - I know, there aren't a lot of you, but it makes each and everyone of that much more special to me. All of you are there for me whenever I need you, and I hope you feel the same way about me. I've got the great fortune of working with some of you, while others live hours away, but I love you all just the same. Thank you for being wonderful.
5. Ms. Mary - Now, I know she will probably never read this, but I am so grateful to have her in our drive-thru everyday. Our relationship started out pretty rough, but I've come to love you so much. You're one of the few constants in this crazy world of mine. And I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you in our 30-second interactions. Thank you for being exceptionally you.
6. Throwback Junction - When I first heard about the new thrift store in town, I was just excited that it was more focused on clothes and a younger style, unlike most of the other ones here. However, I've grown to love Throwback Junction. Of course, they've got great clothes and accessories, and their prices are great, but there's so much more. Everyone in there feels very human, and actively building relationships with the people that come in. For me, it's more than just a shopping stop. (Plus, the manager, Becky, is totally sweet and I love her!) Thank you for being refreshingly real.
I know my list was a little mushy, and people oriented, but that was my goal. I really wanted to focus more on the people in my life that I'm grateful for. Of course there are other things, like coffee and my mom's handmade lip balm, that make life infinitely more tolerable, so don't ignore those! Go make your list now!!!
